DONATE NOW

Without the support of our generous donors, we wouldn’t be able to help animals in need like Rosie. When Rosie was left abandoned in a carpark on a busy main road with severe leg injuries, it looked like the end of the line – until she met Felicia. Sadly, Felicia’s love and kindness was not enough. After taking Rosie in, a vet advised that Rosie’s leg was sadly so damaged that it needed to be amputated. With vet bills totalling $4,500 and no employment, Felicia was struggling, and that was before she had even begun to think about having to feed Rosie as well. Thanks to the support of Second Chance Animal Rescue Inc., who provide weekly donations of pet food to pets like Rosie, Felicia had one less thing to stress about. To all our donors, we are so appreciative of all the good that you do
